Les Bains is the catalogue of an extraordinary exhibition of street art that took place on the walls of the most famous nightclub in Paris. Stephane Bisseuil and Jérôme Coton were allowed to photograph much of the artwork and their images beautifully capture this melting pot of artistic talent.

Built as a municipal bathhouse in the late 19th century, Les Bains-Douches would eventually become one of the hottest nightclubs in Paris known simply as Les Bains, a destination for the likes of Kate Moss, Mick Jagger, Johnny Depp and Andy Warhol. Due to some faulty construction in 2010 the building was declared a safety hazard and has now undergone a complete renovation, becoming La Société des Bains in 2014. After being closed to the public and destroyed within days of its completion, this book acts as an exclusive timepiece, commemorating a unique exhibition in such a renowned location.
